Angeboten wird „Goldring 1022 GX - MM-Tonabnehmer“ von Goldring als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler, Tonarme, Systeme...“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5252452602 endet am 05.10.2026 um 08:50 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market for this cartridge at the moment, because the €270 ask sits above the €233 75th percentile and well over the €195 median of recent EUR comparables. That makes it ambitious, not a fair-market steal, unless the listing includes a genuinely compelling bonus package or unusually fresh condition.
The 1022GX is well regarded for its lively, detailed moving-iron sound, with good tracking and a presentation that can make a solid turntable front end feel more refined and engaging. If the stylus is genuinely healthy and the body is clean, there’s real upside here, but at this price I’d want confirmation on stylus hours, any recent service, and whether the original stylus/cantilever is intact and not near end of life.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Goldring traces its origins to 1906 in Berlin, where Czech-born brothers Heinrich and Julius Scharf launched Gebrüder Scharf, crafting gramophone needles, clockwork motors, and innovative sound boxes—the acoustic precursors to modern magnetic pickups. The brand's iconic Gold Ring trademark debuted with the 1926 Juwel Electro sound box, optimized for electrical recordings. Relocating to Britain in 1933 amid geopolitical shifts, it formalized as Goldring Manufacturing (GB) Ltd in 1953 at Leytonstone, East London, where it pioneered low-mass hi-fi cartridges like the acclaimed No. 500 with its turnover 33/45 rpm stylus, earning BBC endorsement and global stature.
Renowned primarily for hand-made turntable cartridges—especially moving magnet and moving coil models—Goldring has expanded into turntables, phonograph components, headphones such as the 2006 DR series, and vinyl care accessories. While its heritage lies in gramophone-era innovations, the UK-based marque maintains a focused portfolio eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, prioritizing precision analog playback for vinyl enthusiasts.
Positioned as a mid-tier mainstay in British hi-fi, Goldring commands respect for over a century of reliable, innovative engineering that bridges vintage heritage with contemporary vinyl revival. No longer a high-end boutique or collector's curiosity, it delivers accessible excellence, holding the title of the UK's top cartridge brand through consistent quality and enduring appeal to discerning analog buyers.
